Do you remove your Dashcam in sunny weather

[otherclive]

Now that the Sun has returned and we may be using windscreen sun covers inside the car I wonder if users remove the dash cam as it will be between the sunscreen and the windscreen, and potentially get very hot. There are other car sensors in that area ,but they are an OEM fitment whereas the dash cam is an after market accessory. Cannot find anything in the car's owners handbook about not using windscreen sunshades inside the car.

My son left his phone on the dash, cracked the glass😟

It may well be a sensible idea. But I just leave mine and it has been in 35 degree heat. (And hotter in the car). Reason. Life’s too short.

So far it has not been a problem.

It just sort of dawned on me as with caravan reflective blinds I always tended to not have them full closed to reduce the likelihood of damaging the windows of the caravan.

I leave mine and sometimes if it hot I put the sunshade blind on the windscreen so far with no problems

The only time mine gets removed is when it falls off itself (and triggers the alarm........).

Just to tag onto this thread....

Mrs V says if I save up my pocket money I can get a decent dash cam. I'm thinking about the Nextbase 322.

Any comments on this one? I've tried cheapy ones and basically think they're rubbish.

I think mine is a Next base 322 WG. Fantastic little bit of kit, about 140⁰ of vision, good at night. Adjustable G force for roundabouts and potholes.

Personally prefer the 522gw and think it is worth the extra for the higher res.

Mine gives trouble free service. And has done for years. Even in the hot car.
